House Vs. Grey's Anatomy

OK...so I have an unhealthy amount on interest in this show. I can't help it. Hugh Laurie has sucked me in. But, being an inherently fair person, I decided to give the other medical drama, Grey's Anatomy a chance as well. And really, there is no comparison. House wins...hands down.
Here's why:

  1. House has its share of medical gaffes...but at least you have to be a doctor to figure them out. Grey's Anatomy had an infant with Rasmunssen's encephalitis. They did a hemispherectomy(!) on her. Baby still had her goldilocks post-op. We couldn't have a bald baby girl, could we? That would spoil the whole cutesy effect.
  2. House has drama in it.(Their favorite dialogue is: If we're right patient lives, if we're wrong patient dies. Lets test our hypothesis on our living, breathing subject.) But Grey's Anatomy has sappy drama. (Protagonist is sleeping with hot surgeon, who neglects to mention itsy-bitsy fact that he is married, leading to lots of angst. Innovative!)
  3. Talking about sex...House has sex in it, but they have the decency to wait until they're out of the hospital, and in the comfort of their homes(thus far..haven't watched everything.) In Grey's Anatomy, everyone's doing someone...and its always in the hospital...while they're on call. Its like they have a secret sex room (like the Room of Requirement) at their disposal 24/7.
But..fair person that I am, I must say that GA(apart from acting as GA) has something going for it. Hotter doctors. They don't call Patrick Dempsey McDreamy for nothing.
But on the whole, if I want to watch a soap with medical miracles, I'll watch Kyunki Saas bhi kabhi Bahu thi and marvel at the 200 year-old Ba.

Unrelated aside: I'm rather sad. Dumbledore is gay!(Not being non-PC, just never pictured him as gay!) JKR can make anyone anything, now that she's wrapped it up. Next we'll find that McGonagall is a dominatrix. Whatever!

Hmmm Mcgonagall as a dominatrix would really work !
